It's Showtime keeps the performing arts vibrant at St. Viator Elementary School. All students are eligible to participate in this musical revue

We are changing the format today, as we are featuring our new Associate Pastor, Father Michael Owen. While he is an important part of our Parish and School, I don't think he technically falls under the "faculty" label. Father Michael Owen joined the SS Viator & Wenceslaus Parish July 1st of this past summer. As our Associate Pastor, “Father Mike” works with Father Benjamin handling the business between our two church sites and ministering to our school. We reached out to Fath

The St. Viator 4th and 5th grade classrooms are partnered together, where each grade has a homeroom, but moves to the other classroom for specific subjects. Students learn how to navigate this new responsibility. Mrs. Iannelli (5th) and Ms. Hook (4th) lead our intermediate grade classrooms! This year, Ms. Hook is the 4th grade Homeroom teacher, and handles Math and Science for both grades. Mrs. Iannelli is the 5th grade teacher, and handles Reading, Writing, and Social Studie

It's always great to have the Knights of Columbus on the St. Viator campus for the annual Spelling Bee! This year marked the 34th year that St. Viator students gathered on the second floor of the Rec Center to start their spelling bee bid. In addition to the members from the Brownson Council of the Knights of Columbus, our own Mr. Slawik reprised his role as the official word pronouncer. 15 students started the bee, 3 from each grade, 5th through 8th. The students did well, w

We returned from the Thanksgiving Break ready to embrace the Advent season. St. Viator students, faculty, and staff are thinking about Jesus in our lives, and how we can prepare for his coming at Christmas. The school's Nativity Scene went up in our south foyer. Thank you to the faculty and parent who pulled out all of the decorations, then pulled out all the stops to make a beautiful Nativity. At our Morning Assembly, two of our 8th grade students assisted Dr. Rieger with ou

Once again, we hosted our Flag Retirement Ceremony on November 11th, Veterans Day. The ceremony honors our veterans, and remembers those who have fallen in service to our country. Each year, we remember in particular St. Viator Alumnus Charles Kefer, Jr. The snow lingered on the front lawn, but St. Viator students gathered with their teachers by the campus flagpole. Members of our Student Council and National Junior Honor Society helped with the ceremony. Mr. Rieger, a Marine

WF25 - Save the Date: 12/13/25!

Art Zone started up this month, and we're ready for a new year of projects! Students learned about Lebanese-American visual artist, poet, and essayist, Etel Adnan.

Trying out Acrylic Paints While Adnan worked in oil paints, St. Viator students worked with acrylic paint on paper. Inspired by her paintings, th
